Krauthammer: Impeachment would be 'a catastrophic mistake'
The Hill ^ | August 3, 2017 | John Bowden

Posted on 08/04/2017 12:11:40 AM PDT by be-baw

Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer called the idea of impeaching President Trump "a catastrophic mistake" on Thursday, warning that there's no evidence Trump has committed a crime.

"Collusion is unseemly but it ain't a crime," Krauthammer said in an interview with Fox News's Tucker Carlson. "You've got a political establishment, mostly Democratic but there are some Republicans, that would like to see him taken out of office."

...

He stressed that he doesn't defend Trump, but only thinks that impeachment is a mistake. "Again, I think he's unfit," Krauthammer said, "but that's not the grounds for removal."

Of course there will be disagreement here but the Bret panels seem fairly balanced.

I think Krauthammer’s job is to be agnostic.

What CK, his elitist buddies, the RINOs, and the Dems are doing is evil. Wishing the absolute worst for evildoers is not “sick”. That’s just my opinion; I could be wrong.

Remember who it was that pushed the helpless, wheelchair-bound Leon Klinghoffer to his death.

I have as good a sense of humor as anyone. And irreverent humor can sometimes be fine.

But can we agree there are some things that should never be joked about? For example, 9/11 victims? And others who were murdered by Islamic terrorists?

I too have lost my former esteem for Charles Krauthammer. I used to view him as a wise man, and looked forward to hearing his opinion. No longer. However he is not "evil," and no one should wish such a death upon him, even as a joke.

That lying, gas-lighting drooling cripple knows that if things go hot, the fake media aholes like himself will be the first to be decorating lamp posts. Wheel chair and all.

“Krauthammer needs a vacation. I suggest the Leon Klinghoffer suite aboard the Cunard line.”

lolol. I second that motion.

I am with you. This is no mere,”impeachment”. This is an action planned from the minute that it was officially announced that Donald Trump won the election. It is an effort, an act, to undo the results of an legitimate, legal election. An election that their guy, Hillary Clinton lost. A soft or bloodless coup would be a better description of what is occurring. Who are the actors, or perpetrators, or participants? Including but not limited to: The alphabet news organizations, a/k/a, the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, the Republican Party, the Wall Street money brokers, academia

It is no mystery what President Trump's enemies plan to do. And his enemies are, judging by what I read and hear, include everyone except those who voted for him.

The question begging to be answered is, what will President Trump's supporters do? Will will we defend our President and our Republic or will we sit back and allow him and it to be savaged? To be effective, we must rise as one.

‘However he is not “evil,” and no one should wish such a death upon him, even as a joke.’

imagine this little scenario:

Thomas Sowell says “impeaching Donald Trump would be a catastrophic mistake...’
FR response: ‘Dr. Sowell is a true patriot, brilliant and expressing truth in the clearest manner possible...’

Charles Krauthammer says ‘impeaching Donald Trump would be a catastrophic mistake...’
FR response: ‘throw him off a ship, strapped to a wheelchair...’

The media, even Fox, show great respect to insiders like Wallace and Krauthammer.. AND obama .... and disdain for Trump.

obama was the epitome of a do nothing, anti American, sell us all down the river, crooked, evil, hateful, riot stirrer, lying president.

I have a hard time getting my brain to understand these people who are so far down that river of corruption and praise the evil among them and think an honest man is unfit!!!!!!!

They have no discernment in their heads to see what they are saying?!!! to see how corrupt they really are?!!!.. to see how far they have sunk?!!!!!!

-—Bret panels seem fairly balanced.-—

Are you kidding? It is a lucky day when bret has even ONE conservative.
The rest may be republicans, but they are not conservative.. and they hate Trump. Bret is a huge disappointment.. he can’t stand Trump and shows it every time I see him report.. I avoid seeing his reports, as he just makes me angry with his unfair and unbalanced reporting.

They show such respect for Krauthammer and he is a sour man when he talks about my President... they have so poisoned the air to the public that it’s a wonder Trump has any approval at all out here. I want them to have some Trump voters to clue them in on what we think out here.

Yes; I understand that the First Amendment only applies to certain people. Thank you for reminding me that I’m not one of those people.

Well, at least you understand that it is only the elites that are allowed to have opinions. We mere morals are not allowed to have an opinion and should we accidentally get one, under no circumstances are we allowed to express it. We mere mortals are destined to be slaves and serfs to the elites.

Yes we are at the tipping point. The deep state, democrats, corporate owned left wing media, did not expect Trump to win and there was still a majority of Americans to overcome the illegal and fraudulent voting. Hillary and countless Obama officials without a doubt belong in jail. Their government deep state supporters trying to keep their crimes hidden and hold onto power are using every means possible to take down Trump before he can truly take hold of the government and when that finally happens the liberal media and democrats are through for a century. If on the other hand Trump is removed from power in any form than these evil people will have miscalculated again like the election and if they think this silent majority will idly sit and do nothing than they are beyond stuck on stupid. If even 3% of the patriots organize in any way into action the system could not protect itself from what would come their way.

You can get rid of Trump, but Trump voters aren’t going anywhere.

Idiot. Krauthammer said Trump was “UNFIT for the office of President.” That implies the people who voted for Trump are stupid fools which is exactly what Krauthammer believes.

**** Krauthammer and to hell with your sanctimonious bulls***.

We have no choice, we have to fight back. If Trump goes down, the USA will morph into Venezuela & Cuba. We all will become the serfs of the Establishment Controlled State. Democrat or Republican Establishment...it is all the same. Tyrants, Dictators, Thugs, Murderers, Rapists, Druggies, Female Traffic Dealers, etc., will be the flavor of the day. Southside Chicago will be our daily lives....every single day. The America we know will disappear, forever.
